Yes, right after Trumpius Maximus was reelected as Imperator, handily defeating Felonia Cankelius Gigantis in a rematch of their earlier contest.

Mount Vesuvius, Kavanaugh confirmation - six of one, half a dozen of the other.

I think that is generally what happens you heat up blood from 97.5C to 1800C in three seconds or less.

Whoa...were you dead before your skull exploded? Or was it the skull explosion that killed you.

And I thought getting mauled and eaten by grizzly bears was the worst possible way to go. I think I need to update my “worst way to go” hierarchy.

I would bet the former. But either option would suck pretty bad.

Sounds rather quick and painless. The poor blighters didn’t know what hit them. Them that died quick were the lucky ones.”

Mt. Vesuvius is still an active volcano.

Mr RooRoo and I toured Pompeii, Vesuvius is large, imposing and scary, looming over Pompeii and Naples.

If Vesuvius errupts again like it did previously, it’s predicted that 600,000 are in the “red zone” who will be violently killed. That’s a lot of brain explosions.

97.5 C is almost at the boiling point. Normal body temperature is around 37 C.

My wife and I watched a special about the caldera under Yellowstone that could errupt. We live about 60 miles from there. She asked what we could do if it happened. I told her not to worry the shock wave would send the bricks on the front of the house at us at about 3000 mph, problem solved. I think there’s a Saying like “you never hear the brick that kills you”. I kissed her good night and went to sleep. That was a few years ago, same house, same place, different kiss good night with the same wife. 😀

Vesuvio did erupt in 1944. Italy was under US occupation. Ash from the crater literally caused USAF bombers to crash from volcanic ash being sucked into their engines.

We ascended it up to the crater in 1969. It seemed to be daring us to climb further. Nowadays drone photography takes one into the volcanic center in complete safety.

What’s scariest about Vesuvio’s power is how the catastrophic burial of Pompeii and Herculaneum was completely forgotten for many centuries until their rediscovery only two hundred years ago. Their excavations are only now bringing back to life those who lived before the disaster.

You’ll have several weeks or months of warnings and earthquakes. You’ll be able to get far enough away to die from starvation and cold just like the rest of us. ;-)

Oddly I find it comforting to know you care! 😜. Steam Boat Geyser is about to set a new record for eruptions this year. “Ask not for whom the bell tolls.”

Well the good news is they never knew what happened. It was over quickly.

Can we create a Vesuvius in the Northeast states?

Coastal West as well. Maybe 100 miles inland maximum.
